An IoT Middleware Template Proposal

Abstract

There are several different IoT middleware platforms available for IoT systems. However, most of these platforms require high computational hardware to be implemented, making their use in low-cost and computationally restricted devices difficult. This motivated us to develop an IoT architecture and template suitable for computationally restrained hardware to be a tool that can facilitate the development of new IoT middlewares. We tested the proposed architecture in two application scenarios, using hardware with low computational power. The results, in terms of RAM and CPU usage rates and response time, show the proposed architecture makes good use of the available resources.
